Chapter 376: One Is More Arrogant than the Other (Part 2)

Before the morning, the sun was rising, and the warm sunlight shone on the faces of the officials.

Everyone squinted their eyes and saw a black shadow swaying in the air, as if a black bird was flying lightly in the sky.

As the black shadow got closer, the officials finally saw clearly that the "big bird" was actually a team of people. Each of them was very good at light work. They stepped on the leaves and flew up like a dragonfly skimming the water. Under the sunlight, it seemed as if they saw immortals descending to the earth.

The officials of Daqian Kingdom were stunned.

Yun Yilu murmured: "What a great light work."

If the people in the team flying towards them came empty-handed, it would be fine, but they were carrying a large sedan chair on their shoulders. Moreover, the entire team had no horses, and no other livestock to help carry various bags. They relied on people carrying dozens of large sedan chairs to fly all the way. Whether it was internal strength or perseverance, it was very admirable.

The Minister of Rites recognized the other party as the envoy of Jiu Yue Guang from his white and gold official uniform. He led the people of the Ministry of Rites to greet him: "Welcome to the envoys. May I ask if the person in the sedan chair is the eldest princess of Jiu Yue Kingdom?"

The female official standing in front of the sedan chair asked: "Are you officials of Daqian Kingdom?"

"Yes, we are officials of the Ministry of Rites. We are responsible for summoning the envoys. Our Jinyiwei are responsible for your safety."

"Tsk."

A contemptuous voice came from a sedan chair, as if mocking that sending Jinyiwei to protect them, who were more skilled than Jinyiwei, was a joke.

The female official seemed not to have heard this voice, and continued: "Our princess came from afar, but Daqian Kingdom only sent a small official to receive us. Is this your way of entertaining guests?"

The Minister of Rites hurriedly said: "It happened suddenly, and we didn't have time to make more preparations. Please forgive the princess. Of course, this reception is not only for our officials, but also for our country's crown prince and several princes. They are already waiting for the princess's arrival in the state residence."

The female official's face turned better after hearing this.

Then, a deep male voice interrupted.

"Officials of Daqian Kingdom, you said that your crown prince and princes are already waiting for the princess of Jiuyue Kingdom. Then I would like to ask if they are waiting for the crown prince of our Jiuyu Kingdom?"

The Minister of Rites and others looked in the direction of the voice, and a team of thousands of people descended from the sky, and they all came using Qinggong like Jiuguo Yue.

The Minister of Rites stepped forward and saluted: "Welcome to the envoys of the Nine Territories."

The prince standing in the sedan waved his hand: "No need to say polite words, take us to your state residence to rest."

[Tsk, they are really arrogant. ]

[The momentum of the Great Qian Kingdom has been suppressed. ]

[You can't go on like this, you will be looked down upon. ]

[Minister of Rites, you have to stand up straight. ]

[Uh... It's useless for me to say it in my heart, the Minister of Rites can't hear it, and he has a hunchback to begin with, no matter how hard he tries, he can't straighten it up, so don't count on him. ]

[This is all his own fault, he kept bending over to people in the first half of his life. ]

[So, people have to stand up straight, otherwise they will be hunchbacked. ]

Minister of Rites: "..."

Other officials tried their best to purse their lips to hold back their laughter.

The Minister of Rites made a gesture to invite the envoys of the two countries: "Crown Prince, Princess, please come in."

The officials of Daqian State got on the carriage and went ahead, and the Jinyiwei opened the aisle to escort the envoys of the two countries.

The curtain of the sedan chair of the Princess of Jiuyue State was quietly lifted a crack, and when she saw the female officials in the Jinyiwei, she lowered the curtain again.

On the way to the state residence, the people gathered around, curious about the identities of the envoys of Jiuyue State and Jiuyu State.

"Who is the person escorted by the Jinyiwei? The Fan King?"

"I have never seen their robes, nor have I heard of any Fan King whose guards are all female generals, let alone any Fan King whose guards wear white armor."

"Their hairstyle is so unique, they don't look like people from Daqian. Could it be that there are other countries besides Daqian?"

The soldiers of Jiuyu heard what the people said and snorted: "A group of people who have never seen the world."

More and more people gathered around, but fortunately they didn't dare to act rashly because of the court officials walking on the road.

When they approached the state residence, the people slowly dispersed.

The crown prince and princes of Daqian had been waiting for a long time. They only greeted the crown prince of Jiuyu and the eldest princess of Jiuyue when they got off the sedan chair.

The future crown princes of the three countries gathered together, and officials from various countries compared them privately.

The crown prince of Jiuyu looked rough and heroic, with a casual look, but he couldn't hide the fierceness in his eyes.

The eldest princess of Jiuyue Kingdom has a beautiful and stern face, a dashing aura, and a taller figure than every girl present, almost as tall as the crown prince of Jiuyu Kingdom. Although she is a woman, her aura is not inferior to the crown princes of the two countries.

But what surprised Jiuyu Kingdom and Jiuyue Kingdom the most was the crown prince of Daqian Kingdom. As the crown prince of a newly merged country, he did not show any humility or stage fright in front of the crown princes of the other two countries, but instead made people feel that he was a powerful opponent that could not be underestimated.

The prince of Daqian made a gesture of invitation: "Prince, Princess, please come in. We have prepared meals and comfortable sleeping quarters for you. I hope you will be satisfied."

The Princess of Jiuyue and the Prince of Jiuyu followed the Prince of Daqian to the lobby of the palace.

The chief eunuch received instructions and immediately called for breakfast.

Then, a beautiful breakfast was placed in front of the envoys of the two countries.

They saw that the food was the famous specialties of their country, and they raised their eyebrows in surprise.

The Princess of Jiuyue showed a faint smile on her stern face: "Prince of Daqian, you are really thoughtful."

The Prince of Daqian said: "You have traveled a long way to Daqian, so we must entertain you with our heart, and hope that it will suit your taste."

[Can you stop talking nonsense and start eating quickly. 】

Mu Nanjin, who had been silent all the way, really couldn't stand their politeness.

Officials of Daqian: "..."

The prince smiled slightly: "Princess, Prince, please eat."

Without waiting for the princess and the prince of Jiuyu to start eating, Mu Nanjin quickly picked up the spoon and drank a mouthful of porridge.

[I still remember that year, I could only watch the Minister of Rites and the envoys eat outside. I didn't expect that a few years later, I could also sit here to eat, hehe. ]

Mu Nanjin was arranged to be the lower right hand of the prince of Daqian, so her every move was watched.

The envoys of the two countries saw that she started eating faster than anyone else present, and they couldn't help but look at her a few more times.

The fourth princess sitting next to the princess said: "I have heard that women from Daqian can also serve as officials in the court, but I didn't expect that Daqian would be so tolerant of female officials and would not punish them if they broke the rules." (End of this chapter)
